A piece headlined “Chelsea Clinton, TV’s Dork Diva, Struggles at NBC” that appeared last week on the media site buzzfeed.com has renewed questions about her qualifications for the job — and NBC’s motives for hiring her.

Even before Clinton agreed to join NBC last fall, the perception was that “the news channels were auditioning for her — not the other way around,” the article stated.

One high-ranking (and unidentified) NBC exec reportedly told colleagues after meeting with Clinton, 32, that “she was going to be simply ‘terrible’ on television.”

It’s easy to see what has happened so far. NBC hired Chelsea as a favour to Bill and Hillary, and to gain favour among their liberal brethren. Even though Chelsea obviously has a face for radio, and zero experience in the jouralista field, NBC hired her anyway. Although lacking any experience, NBC figured any idiot nowadays can be a journalista, and she would eventually grow into her role – much like a fungus grows on the scrotum if said scrotum isn’t properly washed. Unfortunately for NBC, Chelsea washes her scrotum, so to date her yeast infection has not grown like NBC would have hoped.

Chelsea Clinton is ability challenged, but NBC doesn’t hire on ability anyway, so that’s no biggie. Ratings at NBC have been going down faster than Obama on a plate of Chihuahua, but ratings don’t seem to matter to them, what seems to matter is carrying the water for the democrats. With that in mind, Chelsea is perfect and should fit in well with all the other malcontents, affirmative action hires, and crazed journalistas that infest the halls of 30 Rock.

Damn right, Mitch! I remember an interview on 60 minutes with Ms. Lillian. I think it was the fox news guys now dead daddy, or it could have been Moreley Safer that asked Ms. Lillian if she thought Billy should run for President after Jimmuh’s terms were through.

Ms. Lillian said, (paraphrased) “No! If he wins, we’ll be in a fix. Jimmy’s not smart enough to run the gas station.”
